Industrial ecological park may appear in Tavush region

ArmInfo. An industrial ecological park may appear in the Tavush region of Armenia. The development of the project is under implementation and will be submitted to the Government of the Republic for consideration. ArmInfo correspondent, Taron Sahakyan, an expert of the Public Council under the Armenian President, former deputy of the National Assembly of Armenia, told ArmInfo.

According to him, the task of the park will include processing industrial waste for industrial purposes. It is envisaged, in particular, to process waste products of agricultural production (berries, vegetables), waste from sanitary deforestation for the production of environmentally friendly products, including fertilizers. In addition, it is also planned to organize the processing of mining waste, for example, non-metallic rocks. The implementation of the project will have a multiplier effect, since it will create not only permanent jobs, but also involve production waste from individuals and legal entities.

Taron Sahakyan avoided answering the question about how much the program will cost, noting only that the project is in the stage of coordination with various departments, including the Ministry of Agriculture. "After the completion of all the procedures, the program will be submitted to the government of the country, and by that time the volume of investments that are envisaged to be implemented in the format of public-private partnership will become known," Taron Sahakyan said.
